Workers’ News: There is a lot in your paper I } agree with and some things I do not. One of the things I approve of is the way you are always pointing out the danger of war and calling on the people to unite for peace. In these dark days it is good to read the truth about those who are pre- paring to plunge the world into the holocaust of another great war. ing it their own interpretation. They do not seem to know or care that Jesus, the Son of God, was a Prince of Peace. They quote such things as, “My people shall be a nation and a company of nations,”’ and they say that this refers to Union is a company of nations and Soviet China is a nation. These two are bound in greater unity for peace than Britain and the United States. The more I read my Bible and the more I read of what is hap- chained for a thousand years. The fact that the Soviet sovern- ment claims it is not following the Bible does not alter the fact, for God works in a mysterious way Mis wonders to perform. He will retreat.”’—_LENEIN. REFORMS AND REVOLUTION “It is only by Marxism that the relation of reforms to revolution can be exactly or rationally determined. Marx could only see this relationship from the point of view of his own _period, before the proletariat had won, even in a Single country, a ail solid or durable. In these circumstances the basis of a correct attitude was: reforms are by-products of the struggle of the revo- lutionary working class. After the proletarian victory, even if only in one country, a new element appears in the relationship of reform to revolution. In principle, nothing is changed, but the form suffers a modification that Marx could not forsee, but which could only be conceived on the basis of the philosophy and the politics of Marxism. After the victory, reforms (while still remaining on the international arena a by-product) are also, in the country of the victorious prole- tariat, a necessary and legitimate truce, when the forces are not sufficiently strong to pass through this or that stage of dev elopment. Victory gives a certain reserve Strength, which gives one an oppor- tunity to last out materially and morally, even during a forced a victory which was at your efforts in connection with the Eco case.

LABOR DEFENCE Just Hanging On To Life We print below the copy of a reply of a small business man to a manufacturer who had written requesting the speedy payment of an outstanding account: Dear Sir:—In reply to your re- cent and more recent requests to send you a cheque, I wish to in- form you that the present shat- tered condition of my bank ac- count makes it impossible for me to take your request seriously. My present financial condition is due to the effect of Dominion tax, water tax, excise tax, school tax, auto tax, hydro tax, and syn- tax. In addition to these irritating taxes I am forced by a strone arm of the law to get a permit for this thing ana a permit for that to mention a marriage license.
